About this book:

Today the world of advertising is going through dramatic changes. No longer is winning awards for creativity a sufficient reason for spending millions of dollars on advertising. Modern advertising is led by objectives and implemented through carefully designed strategies.

Advertising Principles & Practice is a comprehensive textbook that breathes life into advertising. Its strengths include an emphasis on the voices of real practitioners which are interwoven with the practical and theoretical lessons. To provide a real-life view of advertising, we have consulted specialists from different areas of advertising--many of them recent graduates who are alumni of this book- and brought their stories to life. They not only explain what they do but also how they got into the field.

Accountability is the byword as we approach the twenty-first century. All the various professionals working in the field-artists, producers, performers, composers and arrangers, researchers, accountants, salespeople, and managers, to name a few-focus their efforts, regardless of their area of expertise, on the most effective way to present a sales message to a potential customer. Thus effectiveness is a continuing thread throughout this book.
